Hi,
I would like to setup printing support in SUSE linux by accessing shared printers from a windows network. The idea is to make the SUSE linux system part of windows AD domain and use single-sign on. At the same time, access all the windows shared printers.
I see that cups backend smb:// is available for printing support, but password is stored in clear text. Its a security issue. Is there a work around or solution to this issue so that cupsd does not store the password in clear text. ?
Regards,
Narayana
